The best facials in Singapore
1. Best for the full indulgence: Auriga Spa, Capella Singapore
For more than just a facial, head to Auriga Spa for a treatment that will leave you feeling recharged and ready to face anything the kids throw at you. Nestled in the lush rainforest of Sentosa Island, Auriga Spa at Capella Singapore is a perfect cocoon to rest and rejuvenate. Auriga, whose namesake is a constellation in the northern hemisphere, has a distinctive approach to wellness and beauty based on the cycles of the moon. Enjoy a three-hour moon ritual (from $610++) and feel radiant, brighter and definitely less wrinkly!
Hot tip: Make sure you take your swimmers with you and check in 45 minutes before your treatment so you can extend your ‘time off’ by using the spa facilities. Enjoy the herbal steam room and the peppermint shower!
Where: Auriga Spa, Capella Singapore, 1 The Knolls, Sentosa Island, Singapore 098297, p. 6377 888
2. Best for skin prone to acne breakouts and scars: Estheclinic
While we’d like to think that pimples are a sign of youth, it’s still no fun having them pop up right before a fancy date night or a big presentation at work. Instead of looking for a quick fix, treat the root of your acne problem with EstheClinic’s acne and scar removal treatments. The facial purifies your skin from acne-causing bacteria using non-thermal, red and blue light technology. This kills the bacteria that causes acne without damaging the surrounding tissue. Did we mention it’s also pain-free? Hooray, first-class pampering all the way! While it takes about eight to 12 sessions to clear the acne and regenerate the skin, our tired faces definitely looked more radiant a few days after our initial session. And weeks later, we’re still proudly showing off our glow.
Where: EstheClinic, locations in Orchard, Tanjong Pagar, East Coast, Holland Village, and Serangoon Gardens
3. Best for brightening tired skin: Spa Esprit
Brighten up your day and your face with Spa Esprit’s Triple Algae-Rithm Hydrating Facial ($198++ for 75 minutes). Like a breath of fresh air for your skin, this detoxifying facial rejuvenates clogged skin. All before rounding things off with a detox vitamin cream to pack a hydrating punch. It’s one of our forever-fave facials in Singapore for good reason.
Where: Spa Esprit, locations in Wheelock Place, Great World City, and Raffles City Shopping Centre
4. Best for a Japanese facial with onsen experience: Ikeda Spa
It’s been an open secret since Kabuki actors and geishas discovered the secret ingredient to flawless skin decades ago. And now, you can try it for yourself at Ikeda Spa! Using traditional Japanese ingredients such as rice bran, azuki red beans, and camellia oil; we think it’s worthy of all the hype. Make sure you finish with an onsen bath!
Where: Ikeda Spa, 787 Bukit Timah Road (Before 6th Ave) Singapore 269762
5. Best for an affordable facial: SG Face
With more than 10 years of beauty therapy experience behind her, Michelle Foong at SG Face knows how to make us feel a million dollars at a fraction of the price. Located just two minutes away from Holland Village MRT, you’ll get to pick from a range of affordable but oh-so-heavenly facials performed by skilled therapists. All first-timers get 50% off all treatments! We love that Michelle doesn’t scrimp on all the fab products she uses. We’ve got so much love for this wonderfully relaxing haven!

6. Best for a long afternoon of pampering: Indulgence Beauty
Clear your diaries for this one, ladies! Indulgence Beauty facials are decadent but also long (so don’t get caught on the hop when you lose all sense of time and miss the kid’s school run!). The Oxy-Liqui Facial Treatment is designed to boost and renew tired and flagging skin (three kids: say no more). Expect clogged-up, exhausted faces to be treated to a double cleanse, a mini-jet wash, a bespoke mask, and a sensational massage.
Where: Indulgence Beauty, 10 Anson Road International Plaza, #02-58, Singapore 082001
7. Best for sensitive faces: Pure Tincture
If you have sensitive skin, make sure to pay Pure Tincture a visit and try the Geneo 3-in-1 Super Facial. Spend 90 relaxing minutes indulging in this luxurious treatment for mature skin that pampers with a firming effect and enhanced hydration. Best for preventing and reducing early signs of ageing, Geneo boosts and enhances the skin barrier to prevent loss of collagen and moisture, revealing a more supple texture. Pure Tincture also offers skin boosters, and lifting and toning treatments.
Where: Pure Tincture, locations at Tras Street and The Adelphi
8. Best for extraction and treatments for acne, blemished and congested skin: My Cozy Room
Motherhood plays havoc with our skin. In fact, pregnancy doesn’t do it any favours either! Thankfully, we’ve discovered My Cozy Room, a gorgeous little urban sanctuary on Orchard Road. It’s also where magic products like local luxury skincare line BeKind are used to fight all your skin concerns. My Cozy Room’s 22-step award-winning pore extraction facial comes highly recommended: expect a thorough, meticulous (but pain-free) extraction, and extra boost of luxe in the form of massages using hot stones and rose quartz crystal. It’s the ultimate indulgence for your tired skin! Pamper heaven right there. Expect skin to look and feel smoother and firmer after just one session in the hands of the talented and friendly staff. This place really does tick all the right boxes for the perfect facial in Singapore!

9. Best for a quick fix with zero redness: Skin Inc
If time between school runs is limited, and you need a skin boost in just an hour, then Skin Inc is your go-to for a quick and radiant fix. Book yourself in for the Oxy-Cryo Glow Infusion Treatment, which starts with the Oxy Miracle Peel (think ‘pressure washer’ for your skin: it really does involve a jet spray of an oxygen and saline combo at high speeds to unclog pores and purify skin). It sounds intense, but there’s zero pain or redness afterwards. Once your skin is sparkling clean, it is ready to absorb the goodness of the next step: a customised signature serum cocktail (tailor-made to your personal skin woes). Added bonus? While the potions do their magic, you’ll enjoy the most heavenly neck and shoulder massage! Prices start from $315++ for a 60-minute treatment.
